| 설명 | 좁아진 심장동맥을 확장시키는 행위를 말한다. 심장동맥이란 심장에 혈액을 공급하는 동맥을 이르는 말로 심장 역시 근육이어서 혈액을 공급받아야 수축을 할 수가 있다. 심장동맥이 좁아질 경우에는 심장에 혈액의 공급이 없어져서 심장동맥병이라는 병을 일으킨다. 그래서 이 심장동맥확장술은 관상동맥질환의 치료에 이용이 된다. 대개 심장동맥확장술은 큰 동맥에 긴 관(카테터라고 한다)을 꼽아서 동맥을 따라 거꾸로 대동맥까지 이르게 하고 대동맥에서 심장동맥을 찾아서 심장동맥으로 긴관을 넣는다. 그리고는 좁아진 부위에 그 관의 끝을 위치시키고 여러 가지 기구(주로 풍선을 이용한다)를 이용해서 심장동맥을 넓힌다. 이 방법을 percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty(피부경유 혈관경유 심장동맥확장술)라 한다. |

| SI units | See: base units, International System of Units. (05 Mar 2000) |
| streptomycin units | G unit: equals 1 g of the crystalline material or about 1,000,000 S unit's, l unit: equal to 1000 S unit's, s unit: the amount of streptomycin which will inhibit the growth of a standard strain of Escherichia coli in 1 ml of nutrient broth or other suitable medium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| international system of units | A system of physical units in which the fundamental quantities are length, time, mass, electric current, temperature, luminous intensity, and amount of substance, and the corresponding units are the meter, second, kilogram, ampere, kelvin, candela, and mole. The system has been given official status and recommended for universal use by the general conference on weights and measures. (12 Dec 1998) |
| units | <physics> Standard quantities of measurement which are specific to a type of measurement, i.e. The metre is the standard unit of measurement for length in the MKS system of measurement. (see also SI unit, MKS, CGS) (09 Oct 1997) |
| anterior coronary plexus | The part of the cardiac plexus that accompanies the coronary arteries on the anterior aspect of the heart. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atherectomy, coronary | Percutaneous transluminal procedure for removing atheromatous plaque from the coronary arteries. Both directional (for removing focal atheromas) and rotational (for removing concentric atheromatous plaque) atherectomy devices have been used. (12 Dec 1998) |
| valve of coronary sinus | A delicate fold of endocardium at the opening of the coronary sinus into the right atrium. Synonym: valvula sinus coronarii, coronary valve, thebesian valve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty | Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of coronary artery or arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| right coronary artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, right aortic sinus; distribution, it passes around the right side of the heart in the coronary sulcus, giving branches to the right atrium and ventricle, including the atrioventricular branches and the posterior interventricular branch. Synonym: arteria coronaria dextra. (05 Mar 2000) |
| right coronary artery branches | <radiology> Conus branch, branch to S-A node, acute marginal branches, branches to posterior left ventricle, branch to A-V node, posterior descending artery (patent ductus arteriosus, 90%), hence, right coronary a. Is usually dominant (12 Dec 1998) |
| circumflex branch of left coronary artery | <anatomy, artery> Terminal branch (with anterior interventricular artery) of left coronary artery which runs to left and then posteriorly in the coronary groove supplying atrial and ventricular branches. Synonym: ramus circumflexus arteriae coronariae sinistrae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coronary | <anatomy, cardiology> A term applied to vessels, nerves, ligaments, etc. The term usually denotes the arteries that supply the heart muscle and, by extension, a pathologic involvement of them. Origin: L. Corona, Gr. Koron = encircling in the manner of a crown (18 Nov 1997) |
| coronary aneurysm | Aneurysm of a coronary vessel. A coronary artery aneurysm is rarely congenital; it is usually due to atherosclerosis, inflammatory processes, or a coronary fistula. (12 Dec 1998) |
| coronary angiography | Radiography of the vascular system of the heart muscle after injection of a contrast medium. (12 Dec 1998) |
